Wow, this is getting really exciting. I can tell that this arc is going to be even more epic than the festival arc, and it's just getting started. This really reconfirmed my love for this series. I can't wait for next week's chapter DX

Also, lol at that shameless Chachamaru fanservice. I suppose he needed SOMETHING to break the tension...and to finally show off her new non-robotic hotness.

Wow that sucks... I'd expect everyone to be stronger, and what about Asuna? Is she unaffected by the teleportation?

Well, compared to Fate and his cronies, Negi and his party have only had minimal training, and that is only in becoming more familiar with thier abilities. And as for Asuna, it's like Yue said in an earlier chapter that although Asuna can block magic she can only block magic that is focused directly at her and is percieved as a threat. If she doesn't know if it's non threatening or not, she can't block or cancel it. Alternately, the teleport spell may have been too powerful to cancel in the first place.
